A Chimera is a three-headed mythological beast composed of a dragon to represent their proactive approach towards security, a lion to represent the fortified design and implementation and a phoenix to represent the protection and safety that’s considered in every design. “Greatness can only be achieved when the heads of many perform as a body of one.”
